keep in mind that's changing in just a week or two, the new expansion has a totally different system for overseas territory e: incidentally, they posted the renders for the new unit packs: https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/euiv-mare-nostrum-content-pack-renders.914311/ i hope they'll redo some of the default ones eventually- the vanilla african ones are the most egregious, but the basic european ones are pretty out of place compared to the swanky DLC packs too. wonder if we'll ever see a west african pack now though. they got their big update in art of war, so if it didn't come in this expansion then i dunno what else could prompt it Koramei fucked around with this message at 19:04 on Mar 19, 2016 |

Some modding questions: 1) I'm trying to add new military land units, infantry and cav, I thought it was just a matter of copying and modding an existing file in Europa Universalis IV\common\units (and then adding it to the country file, but that should only affect AI pick preferences) but the new units don't appear as a choice in game (did check so they were "western" in this case). 2) Returning problem, but localisation for new national ideas and idea groups is elusive for some reason. I tried adding localisation for a new national ideas and the new idea group in powers_and_ideas_I_english (both a name localisation and a _desc:). Is there another localisation file for ideas than this one? 3) I've also added another idea group (humanist etc) and added the graphics for it, but can't make the image appear in game (the idea choice shows up fine though). Which file do I need to add a line to so the game can find the gfx file? Pimpmust fucked around with this message at 19:27 on Mar 19, 2016 |

Just as a note, straits count as a connection, so if you're down at the horn of africa and you own both sides of the strait connection then you won't get the "overseas" coring bonus.

Oh right, enable = Question nr 4) Is there any way to have more control over the heirs in election-type governments? At least for monarchies you can write in names and their % chances of happening but those don't seem to apply for governments with elections.

Bort Bortles posted:I'll have to post my Ottoman game when I get home - did you abuse the vassal-blocking-to-make-coring-50%-off mechanic? I did and got all of Egypt, East Africa, and Arabia by 1550 I think. Now I'm doing it to India. No unfortunately I did not. I honestly didnt know that was a thing. I'm not well versed in a lot of the finer optimizing strategies. I shall try it next time as I am still excited about replaying them right away.

I was focusing on taking India and dealing with ally wars in Europe and didnt see them oozing across central Asia like that. Russia was the one who blocked them that chunk of land I have I grabbed from them in like 1815 from the last Lithuanian war against Circassia who was allied with Russia. Thats one of the great things about this game is you never know what weird rear end poo poo you're going to see. My favorite thing in this playthrough was the time I trapped 110,000 men from Austria and her allies on Venice. We could have demolished Austria a bit but stupid France went and peaced out.

Can somebody verify for me that Makuria is covered in TI for Mamluks, and that most of Egypt is covered in TI for Makuria? I thought it was a bug with EG, but after trying literally everything, I noticed that it was happening even without the mod enabled and after validating my files. Had one other person verify it, but I want to make sure it's not somehow magically being caused by running EG in the first place.

IF ONLY. So my redo on Ottomans is going pretty well I'd say. I have the Syrian vassal block setup. I just hope taking these 4 provinces from Hungry doesnt end up causing a coalition war against me. I best lay low in Europe for a bit. Austria got slapped down by Venice and lost the HRE to Brandenburg so they are soft and squishy. EDIT: Quick question on the blocking. If I took Cyprus or Crete would I lose the over sea penalty on Africa? DurosKlav fucked around with this message at 06:42 on Mar 20, 2016 |

I force converted my vassal France to Protestant from Catholic. In the span of ~50 years they switched back to Catholic, to Reformed, and then to Protestant again. They had some rebels but none that sieged anything down. It's madness.

Had a strange bug/feature today: Playing as Denmark, I'm supporting loyalists in Sweden to keep them placated. I get a loyalists event that reduces liberty desire by 10%. Sweet Swedes are happier with me! Except the liberty desire is reduced in Aragon. Which I am in no manner supporting or affiliated with.

sloshmonger posted:Phone posting, but the basics of localization is that you can create a file called whateverthehelliwant with the localization extension and fill that text file with your own stuff. Make sure the start of the file looks like I did find the idea graphics solution on my own, but thanks for the heads up on the mod file. Wasn't sure if the game actually expects certain localisation lines to show up in certain files which made me pause. The weird thing is that I've added the lines to an existing file as I usually do and I can't find any error with them, but the game still freaks out... might be an error somewhere else in the localisation file(s) that trips it up, but it seems rather specific. And trying to come up with a new idea group + national ideas make me realize how restricted you are for actual meaningful stuff that's not just Git-Gudder-at-War/Moneys/Stability/ExpansionDiplo, suddenly I want Stellaris-like pops for EUIV

You'll know if it does really fast, as soon as their interregnum ends. And with them and Austria at your side, killing Poland is easy. But use Poland to your advantage first.
